Got everything disconnected from the motor, just have to break loose the motor mounts, pull the axles, and pull the motor. Which I'll do tomorrow evening.

Rather than keep the same motor and do a tranny swap, I'm just going to swap the whole motor/trans cluster from my 89 SPG in. The SPG was in an accident on Thanksgiving of last year, with front end damage that I can't repair... the motor/trans appear to be in good condition still, and unharmed.

So Hopefully I'll have everything swapped over and running by the end of the week!

Just finished getting the motor trans removed from the Airflow... It went slower than I anticipated, all in all 5hrs spent from driving the vert around the block to my driveway, to having the motor/trans sitting on my driveway.

Tomorrow evening will be spent pulling the motor/trans from the SPG, and start swapping the internals over (gear selector housing, clutch pedal etc)

It was really fun getting the engine & hoist to roll over/around the ice chunk still on the driveway there. Good thing all 6 wheels on my hoist are swivel castors and we could rotate it around the edges of the ice.

The requisite pic of myself in the engine bay. (Oddly enough, this is the first pic of me in ANY engine bay, I failed to get one of me in my SPG)

Not yet. I'm just doing a quick transplant to get this back on the road. I'm then going to have one of my spare transmissions rebuilt and mated to the younger motor, do the timing chain and everything etc. And then swap that in, and clean/detail the engine bay at that time.

Damn you're a hard worker! Any chance you could spend a little time with a worklog of how you're doing everything? I'm changing my drive shafts very soon and having a quick guide would be excellent if its not to much trouble.

You know how jealous everyone is of that mint looking airflow convertible you lucky sob!
